Sifrei Devarim · Chapter 66

  1. 1

    (דברים יב ט) עַד מָתַי? כִּי לֹא בָאתֶם עַד עָתָּה וְגוֹ׳, לִתֵּן הֶתֵּר בַּבָּמָה בֵּין מְנוּחָה לְנַחֲלָה.

    Pisqa’ 6658H:120-121;JN1:198.
    1. Until when
    [did sacrifice at cultic sites continue]?
    “For you have yet to reach the refuge and the inheritance (Dt.12:9)—
    permission to use the cultic sites was granted
    from the time of taking refuge in the Land
    till the time of receiving the inheritance of the Land.

  2. 2

    נַחֲלָה זוֹ שִׁילֹה, ״מְנוּחָה״ זוֹ יְרוּשָׁלִַם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים קלב יד): ״זֹאת מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי עַד״. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: חִלּוּף הֵם הַדְּבָרִים.

    Now, refuge refers to the cultic site at Shiloh,
    while inheritance refers to Jerusalem
    as it is stated:
    “This [i.e., “Zion”] is my refuge forever” (Ps.132:14):
    words of R. Shimon.
    R. Judah says:
    matters must be just the opposite,
    [for refuge clearly refers to Jerusalem,
    while, inheritance refers to Shiloh]!59//T. Zev.13:20. The toseftan parallel offers a smoother reading of the dispute between R. Judah and R. Shimon over the epithets applicable to Shilo and Jerusalem:

    What is represented by “refuge?” This is Shiloh.

    And “inheritance?” This is Jerusalem,

    As it is said: (Dt.12:9) . . :

    Words of R. Judah

    R.. Shimon says:

    “Inheritance”—this is Shiloh;

    “refuge”—this is Jerusalem,

    As it is said: (Ps.132;14).

    Compare Pisqa’ 1.28 on the epithet, “refuge” applied to Jerusalem. See also H:423, n.2 (66).
